The Patriots' Rob Gronkowski and Rob Ninkovich will be co-hosting the Joe Andruzzi and Friends Golf Tournament at Granite Links in Quincy on June 18.

Other New England area athletes are expected to attend as well, and all proceeds from the event will benefit the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. The charity provides financial assistance for cancer patients and their families, and funds pediatric brain cancer research.

Andruzzi, of course, played nine seasons in the NFL, including five with the Patriots from 2000 to 2004.
